In-Season Training Do’s and Don’ts – Mobility

Mobility can mean something different to everyone, that’s why it’s one of the most misunderstood and underutilized techniques in all of training! Many associate mobility with typical stretches, stretching can be a part of an elite hockey mobility plan but there are many more factors that are needed to get the best results!

 

Top 2 Mobility Don’ts

Static stretch before explosive activities 

  • only static stretching won’t prepare your body and muscles to be able to handle the load on the body during explosive activities and certainly won’t prepare you be able to perform those explosive movements with the most power possible.

Rushing your mobility routine

  • Doing a quick couple minute warmup just so you can get to your workout isn’t going to get you maximum results and can also lead to potential injury over time.

Hockey mobility for performance

Top 2 Mobility Do’s

Mimic your Mobility warmup to your workout

  • It’s most effective to mimic your mobility warmup to the activity you’re about to perform. If you’re doing explosive plyos, you want to gradually work up to more and more explosive movements. If you’re about to get on the ice, you want to warmup and open up the range of motion you’re going to need to skate, pushoff and move efficiently in all 3 planes of motion.

Progress your Mobility Routine like a Strength Program

  • doing the same old mobility routine gets boring and doesn’t allow you to progress and improve new range of motion through all of your joints effectively. You want to think about improving your end range of motion and end range strength in all movements through all of your joints, especially the ones that are most needed or take the biggest beating for your sport.

 

How to Take Your Mobility to the Next Level

Increase End Range Strength

  • Not only do you need to stretch and mobilize your joints, but you need to build end range of motion strength as well. This will allow your body to be able to handle the load put on it but also prevent injury by being strong all the way through the full range of motion.

Focus on Progressions

  • You should focus on progressing week after week through your mobility exercises just like you would through any other area your looking to get better at. Consistent progressions add up over time leading to huge gains in your mobility range of motion and strength.

This is just a brief overview of some things to do and not do when designing your mobility plan. If you have any extra questions feel free to reach out and we’d be happy to help!
